Hopefully, they’ll vote again, because we know what can happen if you let these dipshits off the hook.

I’d bet that won’t be the end of the impeachment effort. South Koreans are master class political protesters.

Here’s the official English translation of the story:

And it’s no surprise that this newspaper is taking such a strong stance on the attempted coup. It was set up as an alternative to the censored media back when the last dictatorship fell in 1988.

I hope that proves to be correct, but from what I’ve seen it can’t be guaranteed.

My Last Column: Finding Hope in an Age of Resentment

So is there a way out of the grim place we’re in? What I believe is that while resentment can put bad people in power, in the long run it can’t keep them there. At some point the public will realize that most politicians railing against elites actually are elites in every sense that matters and start to hold them accountable for their failure to deliver on their promises. And at that point the public may be willing to listen to people who don’t try to argue from authority, don’t make false promises, but do try to tell the truth as best they can.

We may never recover the kind of faith in our leaders — belief that people in power generally tell the truth and know what they’re doing — that we used to have. Nor should we. But if we stand up to the kakistocracy — rule by the worst — that’s emerging as we speak, we may eventually find our way back to a better world.

One of my favorite podcasts is Weird Little Guys. It’s mostly about Nazis, but many of them are also pedophiles.
